Several auction tabs all use the same metaphor for scrolling through large sets of data. This includes Auction Donated Items, Auction Items, Auction Tickets, and Auction Purchases.

The current UI just provides First, Previous, Next, Last links, and a static (page n of m) label.

When a user needs to get to a specific page, it can be tedious to do next, next, next, etc. A better UI would provide the A - Z link bar, like Salesforce provides for standard tabs. Or potentially an edit box to go to a specific page. Also, the standard Salesforce enhanced list control also allows the user to specify how many records per page to display, while Auctions currently always displays 20 records per page.

at minimum, we could add a new Auction Settings to allow the user to specify how many records to display per page.

If not changing the First/Next/Last setup, then at least allowing users to customize the sort would be a big improvement - we tend to find our items by organization &/or category - NOT item name; especially as we edit item names as we go for the best marketing appeal & for length so the sort may change. Organization name doesn't tend to change so this sort is the easiest to find.

It would be nice to be able to change the sort order based on entry date/time so the most recently entered items are at the top. Our data entry staff are having use search to find the item after entry so they can tweak custom fields.
